Re: [sv-ec] Scheduling cycle

I agree with Steve.

It's also not generally feasible to determine statically whether a 
conditionally blocking task is a simple zero-delay task or not.
And, in the case of static tasks, this also opens up the issue of 
when should the arguments be copied into the task.

But this means that a call to a 'pure' function or simple zero-delay
task defined in a package would result in blocking the thread.  This
is probably not what was intended when the subroutine was written to
have no delays.
